PERFORMANCE AND CARBON EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF BIOMASS VIA STRATIFIED GASIFIER

Abstract

Recent concerns on environment, fuel price and scarcity of its supply have promoted interest in the development
\nof renewable sources as a replacement. This paper aims to show the gasifier experimental finding based on performance
\nand process efficiency. Wood chip was fed in stratified downdraft gasifier with air as gasifying agent. The biomass feeding
\nrate varied from 3 to 4.5 kg/hr with an output of various high heating values (HHV) of producer gas. The study provides a
\nclearer picture of the result obtained from the equivalence ratio (ER) which improvises the gas composition, HHV and
\ncarbon conversion efficiency
